Data

Understanding the nature of thriving in cities requires tackling a number of challenging questions about how to identify, conceptualize, measure, and assess urban life. By what metrics can we measure both the objective and subjective dimensions of urban life? On what basis would we be able to evaluate social progress or regress? How, in short, would we know if our cities, and the people and places that constitute them, are thriving? Through data visuals, Thriving Cities will be begin exploring the answers to these questions.
